The affair was th occasion for the holding of a grand Jubilee celebration and rally by the local Masons.

Hundreds of Royal Arch Masons from all over the West were in Topeka yesterday for the celebration. Half rates were granted by all of the railroads entering Topeka. The ceremonial program at the Auditorium last night was preceded by an informal reception for the out of town Masons held at the Masonic temple yesterday afternoon. Naturally, the program at the Auditorium was of a secret nature and nobody who was "shy the required grip and password was admitted. More than seventy-five people aside from the candidates took part in the ceremonies.

The music was under the direction of W. M. Shaver. The organ music was played by F. Roehr and the vocal music was supplied by a special choir of seventy-five voices, led by James Moore.

According to the report of W. P. Hackney, special master In the Hapgood-Berry case, J. J. Berry is to receive $28,000 as his share of the profits from the investments made for Mr.

Hapgood by Mr. Berry. Mr. Hackney came to Topeka esterday and heard the objections the attorneys interested in the case had to make. He will complete his final report and submit it to the federal court in thirty days.

The final hearing of the report will be in September. It was contended the attorneys for Berry that the profits of the investments of Hapgood and Berry were about $90,000. The special master evidently found that the profits were nearly $56,000 for Berry was to receive one-half and is given $28,000 by Mr. Hackney's finding. The Hapgood-Berry case is an interesting one and has attracted considerable attention.

Charles H. Hapgood is a millionaire manufacturer who lives at Alton, 111. J. J. Berry lives at Marion, Kan.

About fifteen years ago Hapgood and Berry entered into an agreement? whereby Berry was to invest Hapgood's money in real estate and cattle and was to receive one-half the profits for caring for the business. There were no profits for years and Berry continued the work just the same. They bought more than 12,000 acres of land in the state at a low figure. They were confident that the price would go up. The contract expired and was renewed in 1898 on the same terms.

Shortly after this land values went up and the profits became evident. In the last contract made Berry gave up his rights to profits in land bought prior to that time. He was entitled to profits only on deals made after 1S98. The profits on these deals were estimated to be from $75,000 to $100,000. When it became evident that there would be great profits to be divided Mr.

Hapgood began to have trouble with Eerry about the way he conducted business. This trouble finally reached the stage where Hapgood charged Berry with embezzlement. Berry proved his innocence and then sued Hapgood in the federal court for one-half of the profits in the deals. This case came up in the federal court last spring and was won by Berry. It was contended by Hapgood that four words which had been inserted in the contract between himself and Berry had been inserted after he signed the contract.

The words were "and one-half the profits. The jury found that the words were In the contract when Mr. Hapgood signed it. There is so much involved in the case that it London, June 23.

El Paso. Tex June 23. Dr. Andrea Reum, a middle-aged woman, prominent both socially and professionally In El Faso, was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary for alleged malpractice. The charges against Dr.

Reurn grew out of the critical illness of Julia Hudson, a your.g woman who recently arrived In El Paso from Louisiana. When her condition became serious friends called on other doctors without the knowledge of Dr. Reum, and then, it is alleged, revela-i Nns were made which resulted In the arrest of the woman doctor. Her trial was one of the most bitterly contested that ever occurred in the El Paso courts. Her husband, who is also a physician, was her constant companion throughout the trial, and when she was led away by an officer he went with her.

Last night he occupied a cell in the corridor just outside the bars that separated him from his wife. The Reums are wealthy and the case will be fought through the higher courts. Notice of appeal has already been filed. Dr. Reum wore a fashionable gown to jail and she wears a wealth of diamonds In her cell.

Probate Judge Hayden yesterday issued three permits to sell liquor. Those securing permission were J. P. Rowley, A. C.

Klingaman and W. H. Wilson. The permits of these druggists exrired while Judge Hayden was out of the city and could not be renewed until his return. W.

L. Dexter, secretary of the State Temperance union, was present and objected to the renewal of the permits on the ground that the union was not informed as to the day the applications would be heard. Judge Hayden overruled his Special to the Capital. Dayton, Ohio, June -4 The moat unique celebration ever held In the States It shortly to take place In Dayton when the entire population, rich and poor, employers and employes, men, tv men anl children, will unite to welcome home John Henry Patterson alter a year's absence on a trip around the world. The unusual feature of the occasion Is that Mr.

Patterson has never held any public office, not a politician. nor has he ever performed any of those feats for which Americans are usually given special honor. Tils chief recommendation to his fellow-ll wnsmen Is that as a simple, private cilcn he has done more than any other man to bring prosperity to the community find make Its name known in every quarter of the world. The man whom Dayton Is planning to honor is one of the most remarkable characters of the country. A true "captain of Industry, he ts the originator of the rew policy of "welfare work, which has already made its Influence felt in the betterment of working conditions in factories and stores everywhere.

By many social economists, welfare work Is thought to be a long step toward complete harmony between capital and labor. This policy of making work safe, pleasant and (healthful, Mr. Patterson has carried out ill. the model factory of the National Cash Register company, of which he Is president. Through this policy of "welfare work" employes.

Mr. Patterson has secured for Dayton a most desirable class of workingmen. He has taught landscape gardening, both by precept and example, until the city has become known everywhere as a "garden city." He has built up a world-wide business of such magn'-tude that its yearly pay roll in Daytoi. nlonc amounts to more than $3,000,000. It 1., in recognition of what he has done to promote harmony between employer and employes as well as the benefits which Ills enterprise has conferred upon the town that Dayton is to give him a public welcome when he returns early in July from circling the globe.

Pinna for Public Welcome. The plans as outlined by the committees are most ambitious, and will rail for the expenditure of thousands of dollars. The chief feature of the day will he a parade In which representatives of the leading bu' mess and manufacturing firms, prom-if i citizens, military and civic organist ns and school children will participate. The procession will pass through the Vnain business streets of the city. In one of these an immense arch, spanning the entire street and flanked hy rows of columns for a distance of a block, has been erected in his honor.

This is to he styled the "Patterson Court of Honor, and will he kept standing for several weeks after his return. Before the residence of Mr. Patterson a great platform is to be constructed for the formal "welcome home." Here speeches of greeting will be made, and the mayor of Dayton will present Mr. Patterson with a beautiful loving cup, as a testimonial of the regard in which he Is held by his townsmen. It Is possible, also, that Governor Herrick may ho among those who will speak at the return of the traveler, while a huge chorus of school children will chant songs in his honor.

Mr. Patterson left Dayton June 29, 1904, intending to spend a few months in Europe to regain his health, which had been Impaired by overwork. His farewell gift to the 4,000 men and women employes in Ills factory was an educational trip to the "World's fair at St. Louis. On this trip the greater part of the expenses was borne by the company.

The welfare work carried on in the Day-ton factory Involves three things ideal working conditions, pleasant surroundings and educational opportunities. Healthful working conditions include clean, well-lighted, well-ventilated workrooms. The pleasant surroundings consist of well-kept la ins, vine colored factory buildings, and employes' homes made beautiful, lectures by prominent men and women, a well MRS.

William H. downpours and big crops caused the boom In the 80s and the subsequent lack of them ended it and if the continuance of present conditions depended wholly on rain, their permanency would be extremely doubtful. The short grass country has found it can prosper whether there is rain or not. One of the peculiarities of this region has always been that its wells if sunk to bed rock, a distance of from 30 to 150 feet, never go dry, no matter how severe or protracted the drouth.

It was long suspected that there was an extensive subterranean sheet of water beneath it, and recent investigations show this is the case. The water, which is clear and pure, flows underground from the Rocky mountains. The supply is inexhaustible, and in recent years it has been widely used for irrigation purposes. If water should again quit falling from above, the short grass farmer would pump more from below with windmills and go on raising crops and getting rich. Senator Jim Lane of Kansas said once in a speech: "God has done much for this country, and man little, Man is every year doing more for Kansas, the more he does the larger is his reward, and the larger his reward the less of a Populist he is.

Now that he has devised means to utilize the immense reservoir provided by nature it is improbable lie will ever again entertain the country with political vagaries. It is not easy for a prosperous farmer to be a political lunatic. E. S. Beck in Chicago Tribune: Ten years ago western, and especially southwestern, Kansas seemed doomed.

It had no mineral resources. It had no forests. Drought and hot winds had year after year killed the farmers crops and burned to a crisp the buffalo grass from which came the name "short grass country. A region that can raise neither grain nor grass cant raise live stock. Thousands of men had moved away, leaving farms untenanted and whole towns uninhabited.

Those who remained had desperately turned Populist, were sending Jerry Simpson to Congress and had agents out begging food and clothes. Today the short grass country is rejoicing and blossoming as the rose. It is raising big crops of barley, wheat, corn, rye. potatoes, kaffir corn, alfalfa and millet. It is sending fat cattle to market.

It is churning large quantities of butter, and the number of its milch cows Is increasing. The once untenanted farms and uninhabited towns are tenanted and inhabited and the population in some counties is growing 10 per cant a year. Those who. confident of the future, bought large quantities of land when it was being sold for taxes have become rich through rapid increase in its value. One cause of the remarkable change in the aspect of the short grass country is that lately it has been raining there.

The soil is black, deep and rich and moisture is all it ever needed to make it highly productive. But rain in western Kansas is not to be depended on. Drenching New York. June 23. One of the most sensational developments of the Equitable Life situation came to light last night in the discovery that a man who had been dead thirteen months and three others who had long severed their connection with the society were still on the pay roll.

The discovery was made through a study of the report of the superintendent of insurance. Air. Hendricks. Included in Mr. Hendricks report is the salary list for the year 1905.

On this list appears the name of E. W. Lambert, chief medical director, and the salary of the office is set down at $25,000 a year. Inquiry at the Equitable offices disclosed the fact that Air. Lambert had been dead for thirteen months.

Further down the list appears the name of George H. Squire, who is now a director, and who, until last November, was financial manager of the society, at a salary of $20,000 a year. Notwithstanding Atr. Squire's retirement as financial manager and that his successor, Mr. Win-throp, has been appointed, the salary list of the Equitable for 1905 shows that Mr.

Squire still receives the salary of Out of Work IS Months. Still another name in the list as printed in Mr. Hendricks' report is that of Edward Curtis, whose office as medical director paid him a yearly salary of $15.000. "While the records of the society show that Mr. Curtis has not been an employe of the company for eighteen montns, he is still in receipt of $15,000 a year, according to the Hendricks report.

The fourth name is that of J. B. Loring. registrar of the society. Air.

Loring received a salary of $7,000 a year, but at his request, it is said, this was reduced to $5,500 a year. In April. 1903, Mr Loring handed in his resignation, which was accepted. If Air. Hendricks' list is not In error.

Air. Loring has been receiving his salary regularly for two years. The regular summer vacation of the court of general sessions will be suspended this year so that the court may be available if the district attorney. Air. Jtro-me, begins prosecution In connection with the affairs of the Equitable Life Assurance society.

This action was taken upon the request of Mr. Jerome. Would Probe Them All. A national campaign in favor of a federal investigation of not only the Equitable, but of the New York Life. Mutual, Prudential and all other insurance companies doing business in the several states, is soon to be inaugurated by a group of wealthy business men, headed by William F.

King, ex-president of the Merchants association. Mr. King said last night that plans were now making for sending out an appeal to every commercial and civic organization in the United States, urging them to join in the agitation for a federal inquiry. He said: "The time has come when something must and shall be done to protect the common people Trom these big thieves. It is not the Equitable alone.

I have information that leads me to believe that a very similar situation exists In other comnanie. Mr. King declared that the Equitable scandal has retarded the commercial development of the United States twen-ty-Pve years. The public has lost con-fiden in banks, life insuance corporations and nearly every fiduciary institution which ordinarily furnishes the money for great enterprises. For this reason he predicted that a money stringency was almost sure to follow.

Graft of Lons Standing. The state insurance commissioners' report showed that the state insurance department itEelf was not free from a measure of censure. It was developed in that report that "graft in the Equitable was almost coincident with its birth. From the very first, when Henry B.

The hustling little town of Inman is situated in the southwest part of Mc-Pherson county on the great Rock Island railroad. It has a population of about 400 and is surrounded by one of the richest agricultural regions of the county or state. The town and country are inhabited by Germans, an honest, industrious and enterprising class of people. The most of them came from the old country and purchased Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe railroad lands during the eighties, developing the raw prairie into the beautiful and well imprqved farms Which you now see.

Replying to a question in the house of commons today in regard to the reported expulsion of American and European firms from Port Arthur, the under secretary for foreign affairs, Earl Percy, said the government had been informed that no such orders had been given by the Japanese authorities. Hamilton county lies on the western Doundary of Kansas, toward the south, says the Kansas City Journal. There are still 122,048 acres of government land subject to homi 'ead entry in that county and at least Oiie-half of it could be used for raising cattle and crops. Hamilton county could sustain a great many people, but at present it does not boast of a large population. In the three townships of Liberty.

Richland and Lamont, with an area of nearly 303,000 acres, there are only sixty-eight people, counting men, women and children. If this area were equally divided, each of these persons would have 4.411 acres; and if each one lived exactly in the center of his tract he would be seven miles away from his nearest neighbor. Or, if we should consolidate these sixty-eight people into seventeen families of four persons each, placing each family in the center of twenty-seven and one-half sections of land, these seventeen families would reside twenty-seven and one-half miles apart, and in the center of a tract embracing 17.647 acres of land. For people who like lots of fresh air and plenty of room to grow in, Hamilton county cant be beat. But this scarcity of population probably will not exist for long.

The West is not now looked upon as the forbidden land that once it was. Drouths have ceased to recur with their old-time regularity, or else the settlers know how to guard against them and manage to lay by enough in the good years to provide against the failures In the bad years. The peculiarities of the Western climate and soil have flnally become fairly understood, and no one who farms with intelligence and husbands his resources needs greatly to fear the occasional unfriendliness of Nature. In many parts of Western Kansas heretofore set aside for the perpetual home of the coyote, the jackrabbit, and the prairie dog, a nardy breed of pioneiers are developing fine farms.

In. a word, the man with the hoe has become the man with the automobile, and instead of sullen, hopeless resignation he lifts hie eyes in gratitude and thankfulness to heaven for the blessings showered upon him. A pretty story came to light the other day of how a penniless harvest hand earned a Kansas farm in a year. It was told in a letter received by Superintendent Jamison, of the local free employment bureau, from Arthur G.

Humphries, whom Mr. Jamison had given a job in the harvest fields a year ago. He wgs sent to Kingman county, where he worked during the harvest season on a farm near Belmont, and later on a ranch elesu miles west of Kingman- He writes that he now has a small farm cf bis own near Calista, well stocked with horses and cattle, and he wants Mr. Jamison to send hipi two men to help him harvest his wheat crop, which is fine.
